I am writing to you to discuss a really important issue – the issue of gun and knife crime, particularly the matter that youth today are involved. We are very concerned about an issue in our local area as it affects everyone, and have taken this opportunity to write to you. People are scared to go out of their houses because they are afraid that they may be victims of gun or knife crime. Now we ask you, is that a way to live?! Surely not! No-one should be afraid of leaving their own homes to go to their local supermarket. We believe that this problem needs to stop now. That is why we are writing to you. Your experience was the first thing that came to our minds. We have conducted both primary and secondary research into this issue and from a survey of 50 people it was shown that, thirty-six people, who all live in Hackney, are afraid that they may become the next victim of knife crime. Because of this, many refuse to leave their houses. But who can blame them? No-one wants to be the next victim of knife crime; but then again, no-one should be in fear of leaving their homes. As the media has an outlook on the knife crime that happens, our survey showed that 50% of the people who filled out the survey, believed the majority, if not everything, that the newspapers say on knife crime. We personally feel very strongly about this issue because we want to be safe outside. We want our parents not to worry so much, because they know that we are safe. At school we are taking the following actions. We are writing to people like yourself to ask if you would take time out of your busy schedule to speak to us on why this is such a problem and what we can do, not only as a school, but also as a community. We are also talking to our fellow classmates about the problem and trying to get permission to put up flyers in the school about knife crime. There are so many problems out there, but we believe that this is the main problem. Why? Because it’s still rising! This problem needs to be solved, not just for the safety of the children, but also for the safety of the parents. We want parents to talk to the younger generation about the problems of gun and knife crime, and how important it is that their children do not take a part in it. We are also writing to the Hackney Council, to ask that more youth clubs be arranged. We believe that this will get the youths off the street and into a sport or activity that they enjoy doing. As a group, we are inspired by your campaign, and as such an important decision maker, we feel it is essential to get you on board if we are to change this and really would like your help in the following ways: - Come to our school and talk about the issue - Send us some of your t-shirts for the promotion of your campaign and the spread of this message If all this is done, then we hope that more youths will listen to the issue and may refuse to take part in the violence, whether it is gun or knife, on the streets. It would be very much appreciated if you could get back to us outlining you thoughts and describing any steps that we could take to spread the message. Please email your thoughts to the following email address: h.enil@hotmail.co.uk Yours sincerely, Henry Enilolobo (bcc: h.enil@hotmail.co.uk) Kacey Wright Lance Ledgister Elizabeth Ude

I come from a rural town, miles apart from inner cities, however a place which can still suffer violence and knife attacks. I myself was a former offender and served a couple of prison terms for wounding. I too believe education is one of the keys in the plight against violence. I am currently in my second year of a social science degree and have founded a community football project in an attempt to prevent youths from making similar mistakes, whether drugs, alcohol, etc, which all can play a pivotal role in future offending. I would like to become involved in this campaign and would be grateful of your support, peace out!
